There's a new game show airing in test markets right now called "25 Words or Less" which is kind of like a hybrid of Password and Pyramid. Seeing several "trendy" words on this show make me realize just how many of these we have never seen on the Wheel puzzle board (at least not since the 80's, 90's, or early 00's when the show didn't mind the occasional PG word or brand name).
Here is a list of words and names that have popped up on many other game shows but not Wheel, without getting too edgy or dark (DISEASE, PLAGUE, SEX, etc.). Let's see how many of these words we can manage to cross off in the next few seasons, and feel free to add your own suggestions and observations.
I've even had some of these in the 30th Anniversary mobile game and the Ubisoft game.

What's an Ariana Grande? LOL
And, the day they use "TWERK" is the day I stop watching.
